Chapter 1453 13th April

Date- 11 April 2321

Time- 13:56

Location- Central Region, Central Academic City, MorningStar University, Conference Hall No.01

Sansa's words reverberated across the conference Hall. Instead of answering the Dean's question of whether they could trust the central government, Sansa gave him a choice. 

The choices were simple, would he risk the other universities gaining the knowledge behind the VR-Universe before them or would he risk trusting the central government to gain the knowledge behind the VR-Universe before other universities? 

Choices spoken by Sansa even shut up the critics that were disgusted with her for suggesting that they would take a.s.sistance from the Central government by helping them realize the reality. 

Even if they were to stick to their pride and not take a.s.sistance from the central government, it was not a guarantee that the other nine universities would do the same. 

Their fear of falling behind the other nine universities started to trump their trust issues with the central government. Causing every Dean's cabinet member who was opposed to seeking a.s.sistance from the central government to reconsider it. 

The Dean too was in deep contemplation after listening to Sansa's words, though he and the other senior professors brainstormed various ways to get their hands on the knowledge behind the VR-Universe and living illusions in it before the other nine universities.

They knew one of the options to achieve their goal the fastest way was to ask for a.s.sistance from the central government. However, they were all on the fence about it because they did not know if they could trust the central government to keep the other end of the bargain. 

But now, thanks to Sansa they saw something they did not consider. Causing the Dean to look at Sansa in a new light but he was not a gambler to take risks and play with odds so despite Sansa's answer being enough to impress him it was not enough to convince him. 

"Prof Orian, you make some valid points. However, we all know how the central government operates. 

If we were to take a.s.sistance from the central government but they do not keep their end of the bargain then we will not have acted as their p.a.w.ns for free but also lost all hope of ever getting the knowledge. 

If the VR Universe is every bit as powerful as the Dean says it to be then I am confident that the central government will not want to share the knowledge behind the VR Universe with anyone, especially with us, the top ten universities. 

I believe the other nine universities also realize this and would not choose to gain a.s.sistance from the central government. So, I say, let us not let our fears cloud our judgment and do something we might end up regretting," Prof Lee did not buy into Prof Orian's c.r.a.p since he was focused on doing the opposite of everything she did. So it was easier for him to fall for Sansa's fear tactics to cloud his judgment.

After listening to Prof Lee's argument the cabinet members also felt that the other nine universities were smarter than to take a.s.sistance from the central government causing their nerves to relax a bit. 

Even the Dean could not help but glance at Prof Lee. Though impressed by Prof Lee's argument, Dean did not agree with it because he knew the other nine universities may be smart to not know that the central government wasn't a trustworthy partner but he knew better than to overlook the ambition and greed of the other nine universities. Just like him they too would do anything to stay ahead of each other. 

"Prof Sansa Orian, if we were to take the a.s.sistance of the central government on this matter, how do we know that we can trust them and they will hold their end of the bargain?" The Dean ignore Prof Lee and asked Prof Orian showing everyone that he was leaning toward Prof Orian's plan. 

"We don't," Sansa said that they could never know if they could trust the central government to keep their end of the bargain, surprising the dean and his cabinet. 

Then Sansa continued to say, "We don't know if we can ever trust the central government, however, we can make sure that they hold up their end of the bargain."

"Prof Sansa Orian, it seems you have a clear picture of how to proceed with this matter," Dean said seeing how confidently Sansa said that they make sure that the central government held up their end of the bargain

"Dean, give me a team of our finest demiG.o.ds and I promise you I will get you the knowledge behind the VR-Universe and its living illusions," Sansa declared in awe springing manner to which the Dean nodded and said, "Excellent, you have my permission to oversee this matter. The University will give you everything you need so failure will not be tolerated."

"Prof Sansa, I have received a reply from the boy," Prof Hadley hurriedly reported to Prof Sansa. 

"Reply to him with the venue and the time of the University interview," Sansa replied nonchalantly looking over the skyline of the Southern Capital. The last time she was here, it was with her husband whom she missed dearly. 

"Prof Sansa, what about the date of the interview?" Prof Hadley asked. 

Sansa turned to glance at Prof Hadley, to see if he was for real and said, "13th April, I don't want to push this any longer."

Dress Code: Formal,' Prof Hadley immediately replied to the candidate for University's early admission interview informing him of the date, time, location, and dress code for the interview. Then he patiently waited for the candidate's reply. 

Receiving the reply Prof Hadley immediately informed, "Prof Sansa, Wyatt had agreed to come to interview tomorrow at 9:45." 

"Good, now send the details to our contact in the team from the central government. Tell them we have done our part and it is now their turn to do their part. I will go talk to our team and make appropriate arrangements to ensure that the central government doesn't double-cross us," Sansa instructed Prof Hadley.
